Work

Mögling is thought to have written Speculum Sophicum Rhodostauroticum (Mirror of the Wisdom of the Rosy Cross, 1618) under the pseudonym Teophilus Schweighardt Constantiens, and Jhesus Nobis Omnia – Rosa Florescens (1617) under the pseudonym Florentinus de Valentia. He was personal physician and court astronomer to Philip III, Landgrave of Hesse-Butzbach from 1621 to 1635. He translated Philip Sidney's novel Arcadia into German.[1][2][3][4]

gollark: And apparently it's generally much more useful for seeing what might be an effect rather than collecting data on frequency of things.
gollark: The data was probably somewhat more useful before it suddenly became embroiled in ridiculous political issues.
gollark: Nature fairly bad, as they say.
gollark: BRB, engineering new forms of pathogen to infect your machine-based body.
